18361887Paris 1836 Portait lithographié et d’une note biographique Lettre autographe signée Vidocq, datée du 21 décembre 1836, in-4, adressée aux messieurs de l'administration des Dames Blanches à la Villette concernant un différent qu'il vient d'avoir avec un cocher de la société de transports de la Dame Blanche. Le cocher, décrit comme grossier et malhonnête, agressif et de mauvaise foi aurait éconduit une pauvre femme en refusant de la faire descendre à l'endroit qu'elle avait désigné. La discussion s'envenimant, ledit cocher n'obtempéra qu'avec peine aux injonctions que l'on imagine tonitruantes de Vidocq.Après avoir porté signalé le fait, à l'inspecteur du quai Pelletier, Vidocq ne sent pourtant pas lavé de cet affront et croit devoir "dans l'intérêt de votre administration (à) vous faire connaître cette conduite de cet endroit afin que vous avisiez le moyen que cela ne se renouvelle. Le conducteur en question a l'accent auvergnat et la voiture est le numéro 22. J'ai l'honneur d'être, messieurs, votre très humble serviteur, Vidocq". Qu'il signe d'une plume rageuse, provoquant une belle tâche sur le papier. Vidocq est l'un des personnages les plus hauts en couleur du XIXe siècle : voleur, forçat, déserteur, roi de l'évasion, faussaire, escroc et assassin, il devient chef de la Sûreté et se retourne contre ses anciens compagnons, revendiquant pour sa très chaotique carrière plus de 16000 arrestations. C'est dans ces circonstances qu'il crée la première officine de détective privé et à cette occasion rencontre Dumas, Balzac et Hugo, qui se nourrirent de la truculence du personnage, s'inspirèrent de sa violence pour créer les personnages de Vautrin chez Balzac et de Jean Valjean ainsi que Javert chez Victor Hugo. Le portrait de Deveria joint à la lettre autographe restitue la force du personnage, à la fois séduisant et roublard dont la postérité a jusque nos jours fait grand cas.

[Imprimerie de H. Balzac rue des Marais S.G., n° 17]. En réalité il s’agit de l’édition Desœr 1822 (même composition, même papier) qui fut cédée à Brissot-Thivars. Ce dernier s’est contenté de faire refaire les 2 ff. de faux-titre et titre par Balzac. Bel exemplaire avec, sur la garde, un ENVOI AUTOGRAPHE de Viollet-Le Duc « à Monsieur De la Tour, de la part de l’éditeur reconnaissant des soins donnés à son fils 1er janv. 1831 » Ex-libris. L’exemplaire a appartenu à H. Hanoteaux (ex-libris). Note manuscrite de ce dernier sur 4 ff. in 16, au sujet de ce tirage. On joint: REGNIER (Mathurin). Œuvres, avec commentaires, revues, corrigés et augmentés. Précédées de l’Histoire de la Satire en France pour servir de discours préliminaire. Par M. Viollet Le Duc. Edition elzévirienne. Paris, Desœr, 1822 ; in-16, demi-chevrette violette, dos orné de filets et de fleurons dorés, non rogné (Rel. pastiche). Cette édition, identique à celle de 1828, prouve que cette impression balzacienne est hautement contestable. Cet exemplaire porte également l’ex-libris de G. Hanoteaux. Hanoteaux et Vicaire, 141."

Light marginal spotting not touching image otherwise in very fresh fine condition. An engraving from the Description de l'Egypte one of the masterpieces of French printing and the birth of a new field: Egyptology. A gigantic survey of Egypt at the time of Bonaparte's conquests in 1798 and 1799 the work is divided into 13 volumes of engravings making up 892 plates of which 72 colored as well as presenting the splendors of the Egypt of the Pharaohs in 9 volumes. The other volumes discuss natural history and present a fascinating portrait of Coptic and Islamic Egypt as it was seen by Bonaparte's Eastern Armies. The Egyptian campaign' militarily a disaster demonstrates through the engravings of the Description d'Egypte the scientific success it nonetheless became thanks to the 167 expert members of the Commission of the Sciences and Arts of the Institut d'Egypte Egyptian Institute who followed Napoleon's army. The Institut gathered together in Egypt the mathematician Monge the chemist Berthollet the naturalist Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire as well as numerous artists engineers architects and doctors. They were tasked with re-discovering modern and ancient Egypt and displaying its natural treasures as well as the know-how of its inhabitants.This edition the so-called Imperial edition of the plates for the Description de l'Egypte was printed in four large formats two of which were specially created for it and christened Moyen-Egypte and Grand-Egypte. A special press was built to print it the process extending over 20 years from 1809 to 1829. The Imperial edition proved so popular that a second edition this time in black and white and without the Egypte ancienne et moderne watermark known as the Royal Edition was published during the Restoration by the printing house of C.-L.-F. Panckoucke Paris.The engravings of the Description d'Egypte owe a great deal to Baron Dominique-Vivant Denon illustrator diplomat collector and later Director of the Musée Napoléon the Louvre. His exploration of the South of Egypt gave Bonaparte the idea of sending the experts of the Institut there thus creating a faithful and complete portrait of the area. This was the research gathered together from 1802 in the mammoth Description de L'Egypte.Denon embarked on this story of archeological exploration at the age of 51 reaching first Alexandria and then Cairo before exploring Upper Egypt. Along with the members of the Institut d'Egypte the Natural History Museum's painter H.J. Redouté brother of Pierre-Joseph Redouté author of Roses the mineralogist Dolomiue and the draughtsman Joly Denon then explored the Nile Delta and Lower Egypt. When however he joined the 21st Light Infantry Regiment as it marched across Upper Egypt in pursuit of the retreating Mameluks in November 1798 he found himself the only civilian. In the very midst of the battle itself he reeled off sketches of the works of art that peppered his path right up to the threshold of the Sudan. He said that he had crossed a country that is apart from its name entirely unknown to Europeans and therefore everything was worth describing Voyages dans la Basse et la Haute Egypte pendant les campagnes Imprimerie Impériale unknown
